Record 7 2012-04-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Missiles and Rockets
  • Spacecraft
CONT

In a nuclear electric propulsion system, heat from a nuclear reactor is converted to electrical energy either by direct thermoelectric or thermionic conversion. NEP provides higher power, thrust, and specific impulse than a SEP [solar electric propulsion] system, although the thrust still pales to insignificance compared to our chemical rockets. For a comparison specific impulse of chemical rockets is about 400secs, Deep Space 1 uses SEP and produces around 3300secs, NEP on the other hand could produce specific impulse as high as 13,000secs.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Missiles et roquettes
  • Engins spatiaux
DEF

Mode de propulsion nucléaire dans lequel l'énergie produite sert à engendrer de l'énergie électrique qui accélère un agent propulsif.
